| S1:E11 - How Does God Command Us To Live In His Kingdom? | 19 Jan 2022 | 00:09:47 | |
First, weâre instructed to love God, not just with some part of our lives, but with everything we have (our entire heart, soul, and mind). But thatâs not all. Jesus reminds us that after loving God, the next most important thing we can do is to love our neighbors as ourselves. | |||
| S1:E2 - What Is God Like? | 02 Nov 2021 | 00:08:09 | |
People build rocket ships to fly above the atmosphere and to the moon and Mars. We send satellites to the edges of our solar system, and we build telescopes to see beyond our galaxy. People have never traveled to the edge of the universe, but, even if we could, God is still bigger. | |||
| S1:E1 - Who Made You? | 26 Oct 2021 | 00:06:43 | |
God made everything. He made every kind of placeâthe mountains, rivers, forests, and oceans. He crafted every kind of plantâpine trees, bluegrass, rose bushes, and even the broccoli we eat (or avoid!) God even made the seaweed that grows under the ocean. He made every kind of animalâgiraffes, butterflies, aardvarks, and stingrays. And he made you and me. | |||
| Welcome to Press Pause! | 12 Oct 2021 | 00:01:56 | |
Every Christian parent wants their kids to grow up loving Jesus with a clear understanding of the gospel, but thatâs not going to happen on its own. In the Bible, God calls parents to spend time teaching and modeling their faith to their children. Youâve probably heard this call somewhere along the way on your parenting journey, but we often shy away from following through with those responsibilities. Weâll often make excusesâIâm too busy with work, I have no idea where to start, I donât know enough about the Bible. Good news! Weâre here to help. Let us tell you about our new podcast, Press Pause. Press Pause is the under-ten-minute family devotional podcast that will help you teach your kids big truths about Jesus and the Christian faith. Listen along, and weâll give you several opportunities to press pause, ask questions, and have conversations with your kids. This is a time when you can grow together in your faith and get to know each other a little more. Letâs put all our excuses aside and start spending time in the Bible with our kids. Our hope is that this podcast is a quick and easy tool to help you do just that. Thereâs no prep required for you (or them), but each week youâll have a new big truth to walk through together. All you need is a phone and a small chunk of time. Press pause over dinner, while youâre waiting for that carpool line to move, or when bedtime rolls around. Thereâs never a bad time to start learning big truths about Jesus with your kids. So, join us this fall as we press pause together. | |||
| S1:E10 - What Is God's Kingdom? | 11 Jan 2022 | 00:07:01 | |
Godâs kingdom is where we live life with God under His loving rule. Godâs kingdom is the place where Godâs dream for the world comes true. | |||
| S1:E9 - Where Do We Learn To Love, Trust, and Obey God? Can We Trust the Bible? | 04 Jan 2022 | 00:09:17 | |
The Bible is true, sufficient, clear, authoritative, and necessary. And those arenât even the most important things about the Bible. The most important thing about the Bible is that it teaches us about Jesus. | |||
| S1:E8 - How Do We Show God's Glory? | 21 Dec 2021 | 00:09:37 | |
Godâs glory isnât one of his characteristics (like his goodness, holiness, strength, or beauty), but is instead the culmination of all His perfections shining forth for the world to behold. Godâs glory is the full display of everything thatâs good and true about Him. | |||
| S1:E7 - How Did God Form the First Man and Woman? | 14 Dec 2021 | 00:09:24 | |
Itâs important for us to understand how and why God created Adam and Eve because thatâs where we came from. We can all trace our family tree all the way back to them (though it might take a long time on ancestry.com) God gave us the same gift of life and humanity that He gave to them in creation. | |||
| S1:E6 - Why Did God Make You? What Is God's Glory? | 08 Dec 2021 | 00:10:54 | |
God wired us to long for and seek glorious things. Weâre drawn toward Godâs glory when we read in the Bible about God miraculously protecting his people as they crossed the Red Sea. Weâre also drawn to God when we wake up to six inches of beautiful, fluffy snow to play in. We can recognize Godâs creative hand behind the snow, and weâre in awe of him. We experience Godâs glory when we taste an incredible stuffed crust pizza. Do you realize that God created our tiny taste buds and the laws of science that help that crust to get perfectly crispy? Stuffed crust is just one of the small things that put Godâs glory on display! | |||
| S1:E5 - Is God Great? Is God Good? | 23 Nov 2021 | 00:08:42 | |
We canât measure God with hours or minutes, because he's eternal. We can't measure him with miles or inches, because he's everywhere. We can't measure God's strength with pounds or tons, because he's all-powerful. Our God is fathomless!
| |||
| S1:E4 - In How Many Persons Does God Exist? | 16 Nov 2021 | 00:06:32 | |
The Bible teaches us that the one true God exists in three persons. Thatâs a truth that stretches our brains. Youâve probably learned from math class that 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. So, how can this be? How can three persons be one God? Our belief that God is threeâwhat Christians for centuries have called the doctrine of the Trinityâis incredibly important. | |||
| S1:E3 - Are There More Gods Than One? | 09 Nov 2021 | 00:06:18 | |
God showed the people that he is the only God, greater than anything else they were tempted to love or worship. God alone is our almighty Creator, our standard of love, goodness, perfection, knowledge, and truth. No one is like him! | |||
